This is a comprehensive guide for all senior citizen tuition waivers, discounts, and auditable classes in the state of Texas. I am working hard to get the information up-to-date covering all fifty states, which is quite a feat. To stay informed on all free classes for seniors near me, check back often for the most recent updates.
Senior Citizen, 55 or Older, Tuition Reduction Program
Program Purpose
To encourage senior citizens to continue their education and keep involved with local colleges and universities.
Eligibility Requirements
- Texas residents, nonresidents or foreign students;
- Enroll at a college or university whose governing board has chosen to offer this program;
- Enroll in a class that is not already filled with students who are paying full price for the courses (If the class is too small to accommodate both regular students and senior citizens, the regular students must be given priority); and
- Enroll in classes for which the college receives tax support (i.e., a course that does not depend solely on student tuition and fees to cover its costs).
New Requirements Fall, 2014
Senate Bill 1210 (83rd Texas Legislature, Regular Session) adds a Grade Point Average requirement for persons to receive continuation awards through the program. The Bill also establishes a Limit to the Total Number of Hours, cumulative, that a student may take and continue to receive awards through this program. These changes go into effect in fall, 2014. Contact your institution for more information.
